Reports of scrap metal theft are on the rise 📈

In the period December 2025 – February 2026, metal theft had increased by 114% when compared to the same period the previous year.*

At Singleton's we help combat this crime by always asking for your identification and bank details when you bring your scrap metal to us.

In accordance with legal requirements, we ask for proof of identity for anyone selling scrap to help to deter metal thieves from selling their stolen scrap metal and to protect local scrapyards from criminal activity.
